Rep. George Santos' Communications Director Exits
It follows lawmakers on Capitol Hill exploring ways for Santos, who was indicted last week, to get expelled from Congress.
WASHINGTON, DC — The communications director for Rep. George Santos exited from her position.
Naysa Woomer reportedly sent the embattled congressman a resignation letter that stated her frustration, if not anger, that he would not take "one point of professional advice given," Scripps News first reported.
Her departure comes a week after Santos was indicted on federal money laundering, fraud, theft of public funds and making false statements.

“Our Communications Director, Naysa Woomer, tendered her resignation. Naysa served this office and the constituents of New York’s Third Congressional District for the past five months. We appreciate and thank her for her diligent service and wish her nothing but the best.”
